After finishing all of the non-good end routes since I can't find it, I can say that this game suffers from the same problem a lot of copycat game suffer from. They're lazy. They aren't trying to be better than the game they're copying. They're just using the theme without any of the soul. Take this game for example. Scars of Summer allows you to mix and match routes allowing you to see Ryoka in the overworld at various locations with various guys having hidden sex. This game has next to no overworld sex. There's no point in playing the game "fair". The best thing to do is save and sleep for multiple days, check the journal to see what days have the events and then reload your save and sleep until those days. It's insanely boring. Why is the map so big if we can't do anything on it? Scars of Summer has overworld sex on practically every map. This game feels unfinished. The main routes are fine but on the days without an event, there is nothing to do.

Another problem is the game is so copy and paste. No matter what route you're on or what just happened, she never reacts to it. She has the same generic lines all the time. During the homeless man route she see's his dick while he's sleep and runs away in a panic. I found her at the park right after and she just has her generic drinking water line. No thoughts about what happened or anything. The overworld version of her doesn't change outside of predetermined times in each route. But even then she just has the same changes in each route. She becomes indifferent to your character, locks her door so you can't interact with her and starts ignoring you. With the exact same dialog in every route. It's lazy. Her changes should be unique for every route. She should wear different clothes per route. It's boring. Even her mom only has the same generic lines all game despite the things her daughter does. In fact, she's having noisy sex in the next room with the teacher and her mom is like, "durr, they're studying!". Her mom is a huge missed opportunity. She could easily have tons of dialog about the changes in her daughter on a per route basis. She should have her own story like the sister in Scars of Summer. The rest of the homeless camp don't' have anything to do. Let them have her.

Overall, if this game was a first try It'd be alright but it took an established formula and did nothing with it. No innovation and far less effort was put into it. It does nothing better than Scars of Summer and even shamelessly copies it on several points. Like the shota letting his two friends fool around with her and the homeless guy having silhouetted tent sex. I will say that this game has better routes than "My girlfriend, me and fireworks." But that game is dark as hell if you get the good end which gives it points. 2 of the 3 routes end up sucking really bad though.
Agree with this 100%. It was disappointing compared to scars of summer. The art was okay but needed more variation. I just hated that there were days when i practically do nothing

That was just the long version of it...
No, not quite. Let me better articulate the issue I take with this game. It's the fact that it's basically slop. This tomboy childhood friend NTR shtick is, in part, to porn games what capeshit is to cinema right now. It's slop that gets piled into the trough of porn game players who like NTR, and they're supposed to enjoy it. Of course, I expect there to be similar stories, for similar situations, that's the nature of this sort of thing. We aren't here to go on an epic adventure, or really even to have good fun, we're here to see some sexy stuff and jerk off to it. Of course things are generic, we aren't here for unique experiences. However, it's vexing to see so many little things get repeated for no good reason. For example, how many Ren'Py games start with you as a dude out of college, heading back home, probably to your big titted (step) sisters and mother, who you're going to fuck eventually?

Don't get me wrong, it's porn, so of course, there's going to be specific fetishes/scenarios that people enjoy. Obviously, in an incest game, you're going to fuck your big titty sister. However, why is that specific, generic situation so commonly repeated? There's so many more situations where you'll be near a sister, why is it so common to see "you're coming home from college, lol"? I wish porn game devs would slip in more creativity where they can. Right now, it feels like so many just do shit by the numbers, even if it's not essential that they do so. Let the big titty sister be by the numbers, that's what everyone wants to be the same. That's the part of things that should be generic, same as shooting a gun is generic in an FPS game. Yet there are so many unique and interesting premises in FPS games, why does it feel like there's only around 5 premises in total for Ren'Py porn games? And let me be clear, I don't want there to be more artsy fartsy type games, that's not what I'm referring to.

I just wish for more creativity where it can be slotted in. It's painful to me to see so many artists seemingly languishing in terms of creativity; I can somewhat understand, cause so many porn games are made as products to be sold, but it's still sad. I want more creative premises, it's irritating to me that so many porn games have descriptions that start much the same way. I'm aware that my opinion on this is kinda unorthodox, nobody else really cares, so why should I bother writing, in all, around 6 paragraphs on this topic? Because I care, and I want people to pursue greater things than just making things by the numbers. How many things have been turned into complete and utter slop, in terms of entertainment? When's the last time a game got announced that people got super hyped for, that wasn't a sequel or a remake/remaster? How long has the MCU been going on, that cesspit of film? Things just feel like they get made and shat out, made and shat out, and while it's always been kinda that way when it comes to porn, it's irritating now more than ever.

I don't like people just uncaringly pushing things out, like it doesn't matter; "It's just a product to sell, so make it as marketable as possible." The types of artists that mindset spits out, the types of people that end up consuming things made with that mindset... it's all ugly to me. I want real beauty, I want something truly sublime. I'm not expecting that of porn, no way, but I want to see the sort of creativity that would make something grand, even in a throwaway product made for masturbation. I want to see others take real pride in what they make, even the tiniest things. That's why I make such long comments, cause I wanna get things right when I post them. I don't wanna just go around, making tiny little comments just to say something. I write comments if I had thoughts on something, no exceptions. And now matter how small a thing it is, if I had a lot of thoughts on a subject, then you're going to hear about it, even if you don't bother reading. Plus I proofread these things too, because I care. I care about the things I do, and I want others to care about what they do too. Even the tiniest things can be made great, if one cares, and I want to live in a world full of great things. I'm trying to get that started, as best these humble hands can, one wall of text at a time.

Ah, so this is the long version of it... Well, I feel ya man. When it comes to normal games it's always less mainstream games (not necessarily indie) that I get excited for. The last (and probably only) H-game I was glued to was MGQ Paradox, because despite it being on what is one of if not the most primitive RPG maker engines the story was so good, you had many choices that felt truly significant, the characters were all interesting, and the art styles were very diverse due to multiple artists.

I don't know if someone reported this already, but it can happen that when a new day starts Aki's model and all of the event icons of the map disappears. I advice to save very often, since, apparently, the only fix is to go to a previous save that doesn't have that issue.
